We are very proud to announce the launch of the LKB Train With Kettlebells Masterclass. Developed in conjunction with Andrew Stemler of Crossfit London and John Murphy FHFST, our course will bring a whole new level to your training.

If you're looking to shed fat, develop a turbocharged cardio system or steely strength then kettlebell training is for YOU.

Kettlebell training is not easy, it is EFFECTIVE and in our minds that is all that counts.

You will work hard in our Masterclass, you will sweat, but you will be a better person for it afterwards. You'll have the tools to build intense fitness, strength and flexibility. You'll understand what real strength is and how to apply it in your everyday life. You'll also look and feel better as kettlebell training, done properly, will melt fat, deliver elite levels of cardiovascular conditioning and leave you energised.

For fitness professionals interested in adding Kettlebell Training to their arsenal of techniques, our course is fully endorsed by REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals, the governing body for all UK fitness instructors, personal trainers and other professionals in the industry) and is worth 3 CPD points. Along with our partners, we are one of the *only* UK organisations with this level of recognition. No other course comes close to matching the effectiveness, professionalism and quality of the Train With Kettlebells Masterclass.

Here's a taster of some of what you'll learn in the Masterclass:

  • The Swing. This one exercise will strengthen the hips, back and legs, especially the hamstrings. Learn the correct way to swing kettlebells to build a strong, supple back and kickstart your cardio system like never before.
  • The Clean. Develop superb upper body strength - this exercise will also strengthen the grip and is an essential addition to the training toolbox of anyone involved in contact sports.
  • The Snatch. Take a weight. Launch it into the air and hold it above your head. That's a snatch. Its also the perfect exercise for developing full body explosive strength. That's all you need to know.
  • The Turkish Getup. If you're after the ultimate drill to hone your strength, sculpt your body and focus your concentration, this is the one.
  • Presses. For a strong, powerful upper body, the various kettlebell presses cannot be beaten.
  • The Windmill is a phenomenal strength and flexibility drill for the entire core. Learn the proper way of windmilling from our classes

Supplemental Drills:

  • Joint mobility and dynamic warmups
  • Grip training
  • And much, much more...
